Russ, and I was a big DangeRuss guy, fell off a cliff. He's supposedly a bad team mate and with team 3 around awfully hard to work with... this was going on in Seattle which is why they moved on and are a better team minus an elite QB. Weird

whatever type of cancer Russ is.  And there is no doubt Russ is that passive-agressive, "I'm better than you, and my position within the organization proves it"  toxic type of Piece of  Dog [BLEEP] locker room disease an organization can rarely remove without destroying the entire team.

But do not try and lessen the fact that Nathaniel Hackett is a worthless offensive mind.  I've seen comatose Alzheimer patients who had severe head trauma from a head on car accident and were then given a XBox controller come up with better play calling on Madden than Hackett has in Jacksonville and Denver.

Hackett is the epitome of a nepotism hire that just continued to fail upward.

People keep saying stuff like this after he took the Jags to the AFCCG and his offense was fifth in the NFL that season. 
I don't think he pulled that off (with Blake Bortles!) by being worthless. 

Hackett is at minimum a moderately talented offensive mind. He just never had any business becoming a head coach. 
Especially being a new head coach with a 250 million dollar QB who considers himself above being coached. 

History has shown us that is sometimes VERY difficult to discern which successful coordinators or position coaches are well equipped to become head coaches in the NFL. Teams go after the hot coordinator pretty often in coaching searches, and many of them just don't pan out. 

It would require someone much smarter than me (and a lot of NFL front offices) to tell you why this keeps happening, but it is a common occurrence.
